    Well, just heard from trainer. To meet him in Richmond (5 hours away) at 7am... Didn't want to drive there tonight and sleep in my small car so I guess I will roll out of here around 2am and head to Richmond.

    Going to leave my car in Richmond and then he said he would try to drop me off at home but if it didn't work out I would have a car in Richmond.

    Fun fun fun ... :)

    I believe you could have gone and stayed at the hotel on Abilene for the night. Correct me if I'm wrong, John.

    No worries... I wasn't sure and it was too late to ask. This way I get to hang out with the better half for a few more hours after work.

    Besides, from reading this thread, it seems fairly normal for a driver to wake up at odd hours to make their drops... So I will get up at an odd hour and deliver myself to Richmond... :)
     
    JohnBoy and Lonesome Thank this.

    of course the trainer might be expecting you to drive after you deliver yourself to Richmond
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.
